NO REST FOR WOLVERINES
Michigan athletes compete over

holidays

While most Michigan students
are off having fun in the sun in
Pasadena, or skiing at their fav-
orite resort, or revelling in their
lack of homework during t h e
Christmas break, the members of
the Wolverine hockey, swimming,
and wrestling teams will be dili-
gently attempting to assert their
athletic prowess in their respect-
ive sports.
Details of upcoming games and
meets appear in the stories below.
Hockey
Whaddya think of the a s t r o
test?"
"Shit, how's practice?"
Okay, how did you do on the
paper? That dumb teacher gave
me a B."
So goes the conversation down
at the Coliseum each evening and
for good reason. Like everyone else,
hockey players must go through
the agony of finals. For them it
will mean a particular aggrava-
tion. Starting December 21st, the
day after finals end, the icers will

do battle in the Third annual
Big Ten Tournament.
During exam week no practice
takes place and naturally by the
end of the week, the players are
not at their peak condition. Last
year after exams, Michigan lost
two in a row and looked bad in
the process.
Fortunately, the Big Ten Tourn-
ament wasn't until a week or so
later and they recovered suffi-
ciently enough to win it. This
year, though, with the tourney
before Christmas, things could be
tough.
Another tournament is sched-
uled for a week later, the St. Louis
Invitational. Michigan and Wis-
consin will represent the Big Ten,
while Brown and Yale will venture
west from the Ivy League.
Sandwiched around these two
tourneys will be a pair of h o m e
and away series agaist N o r t h
Dakota. The series starts this Fri-
day and Saturday with games in
the Coliseum, and concludes after
New Year's in Grand Forks.
Though they will probably be
the favorite in the tourneys, and

in the games against North Da-
kota, the Wolverines had a slow
start this year, splitting with both
Wisconsin and Michigan State.
After the first three games it
was apparent that their starting
lie of Dave Perrin, Merle Falk,
and Paul Gamsby was not produc-
ing goals as expected. Coach Al
Renfrew then rearranged the line-
ups and came up with a winning
combination that produced eight
goals against MSU, after the Wol-
verines had lost the previous night
3-2.
Swimming
Although Coach Gus Stager's
Wolverine swimmers should have
little trouble downing both the
Minesota Gophers and the Wis-
consin Badgers, the results w ill
not give a true indication of
Michigan's ability.
Stager and diving coach D 1 c k
Kimball are only taking 13 swim-
mers and divers on their trip to the
northland for their meets t h i s
Thursday and Friday, as compar-
ed to a usual contingent of 18 per-
formers for a regular meet. The
small number of swimmers on the
traveling team is because of the
need of the athletes to study for
final exams, and the belief that
even this limited number of swim-
mers can still defeat the relatively
weak Gophers and Badgers.
As Kimball puts it, "We don't
expect to have too much trouble."
Two events, however, where t h e
Wolverines could run into trouble
are in the one-meter and three-
meter diving. Although the diving
squad boasts one of the best div-
ers in the nation, Dick Rydze, it
will have its hands full against

Craig Lincoln of Minnesota a n d
David Bush of Wisconsin.
Lincoln is an outstanding sopho-
more and will have the added ad-
vantages of diving in his h o m e
pool. Because of the differences in
lighting and diving boards, t h e n.
home advantage can often become
a sizeable asset.
Only a freshman, Bush is al-
ready a seasoned veteran. As a
junior in high school, he finished
third in the AAU national diving
championships.
Diving along with Rydze will be
Joe Crawford if his back injury
is healed. Otherwise, junior Al
Gagnet will make the trip.
Kimball feels that Rydze can .
give any of their divers a run for
their money. Diving should be the
most interesting event because of
the good competition."
In the swiming events, the Wol-
verines should easily dominate
even though they are taking only
one of their top three swimmers.
Captain Gary Kinkead will make
the trip, while Juan Bello and Bill
Mahoney will stay home.
Wrestling
Michigan wrestlers w i ll com-
pete in several tournaments over Dick Rydze
the semester break, including the-
nationally famous Midwest Open I r n i n! T n7 n 1 m 7I£Q'

held each year in LaGrange, Illi-
nois. "All the people who figure
in our plans will be in the Midwest
Open," Assistant Coach Rick Bay
said.
Michigan will enter a full ten-
man team in the Open, which will
be held December 29-30. The com-
petition is of such caliber that it
includes Big T e n champions.
NCAA champions, O1 y m p i c
champions, and AAU champions.
Some Wolverine wrestlers will
also compete unattached.
"We won't know who's going to
wrestle at what weight until the
weigh-in out there," Bay explain-
ed.
Two other tournaments, the
Wilkes-Barrie in Pennsylvania and
t h e C.W. Post College Tourna-
ment in Greenvale, N.Y., may
have some Michigan representa-
tives.
The final holiday action will be
in New York City in the New York
Athletic Club Meet, January 5.

"Black men trembled
when white ladies
spoke."
If you think
You have inherited a world
Of war, poverty, injustice and prejudice,
Consider for a moment the world
Your fathers and theirs inherited.
Black boots goose-stepped across Europe,
Bringing the bloodiest war known to history.
Hunger and despair hung heavy in every home.
Beggars shuffled the streets.
Breadlines and soup kitchens stretched
From New York to Los Angeles.
Little children labored from dawn to dusk in sweat shops.
Miners, striking for minimum safety standards,
Were mowed down by bullets.
Black men trembled when white ladies spoke.
And lynchings were an acceptable form of mass entertainment.
One third of our nation was ill-housed, ill-fed, ill-clothed.
This was the world that was dumped on your fathers.
Those who rolled up their sleeves in those days
Had but one thought in mind:
To make something better
For themselves, for you, for the country.
And they made it better.
Not perfect, God knows, but better.
When your sons take over, may it be said
You did as much.
You. Our life insurance.
